Hey, a villain I'm working on right now, The Queen of Pentacles, is a gypsy with an enchanted tarot deck.

Most of her powers are tied to the major arcana, and for some I wanted to use powers that are usually permanent. For example, the strength card grants her Super Strength +5.

My question is, what should I cost it? I've reduced the duration from Permanent to Sustained, and increased the action from none to half. I think it should cost 2 pp per level.

Similarly, The Sun grants her Regeneration +5, with a duration of Concentration and a half-action. I've costed this at 1 pp per level.

One final question. The Hermit will be a dazzle attack which blinds and deafens the victim. I figured given the concept, a will save made more sense than reflex. I couldn't find any information about changing saves, or how to assign them in the first place, so I assumed that the type of save didn't affect the cost at all. Is this correct?
